I am baffled (or dense). I cannot get pprint to do what I think it should in any of openmcl, sbcl, or LW. An example given in the ANSI spec/Hyperspec under *print-pretty* is: (let ((*print-pretty* t)) (progn (write '(let ((a 1) (b 2) (c 3)) (+ a b c))) nil))
(LET ((A 1) (B 2) (C 3)) (+ A B C)) => NIL
I don't get any indentation when I type that example into any of the CL implementations listed above. The example just gets printed on one line of output, no indentation. Am I supposed to do some additional thing to get the output shown? - Dave -
